The alarm starts blaring — red alert! You bolt upright, heart hammering against your ribs, glancing at the bridge to confirm your worst fears… through the viewport, a monstrous cube, its surface a patchwork of metallic plating loomed over the Enterprise.
Borg. Captain Picard's voice, taut with suppressed fury crackles over the comm, telling everyone 'All hands to battle stations! Shields up, phasers to maximum!' Smaller vessels, drones they called them, swarm towards you as your targeting systems lock into one. You fire, a brilliant emerald beam lances out, but the drone's shields hold… Oh no.
It retaliated, and Data's monotone voice can be heard through the chaos, 'They're adapting. Our phasers are having minimal effect.' A collective groan ripples through the bridge crew… you all know what that means. The Borg are assimilating your technology, growing stronger with every volley you exchange. Now what? Can you pull through? Will you make it?
